And Now, The 18 Best Cropped Cardigans and Sweaters
Nothing defines easy fall dressing quite like a cropped cardigan. If putting together a cute outfit seems like too much to handle right now, a shrunken knit with your favorite jeans are the perfect answer. Styles range from basic button-ups to embroidered, embellished, or printed knits so there's pretty much something for everyone. (I, for one, am quite partial to the ones I can also wear as a top.)
For some inspiration on the best cropped cardigans of fall 2024, I turned to some of Instagram's best-dressed ladies like Ellie Nes, Pia Baroncini, and Imani Randolph. During the autumnal months, I love wearing these shrunken knits with slip skirts and a leather jacket if I need another layer. Of course, jeans and boots are also great accompaniments for a cropped cardigan. However you style it, it's safe to say you'll be super comfortable all day long. Scroll down to shop my favorites.
I've had this in my shopping cart ever since I first laid eyes on it in the summer. It's just that good.
Possibly the easiest way to wear fall's big color trend, chocolate brown.
Seeing this in my shopping research actually made my jaw drop.
Side effects of wearing this may include compliments and "where did you get that?" inquiries.
Short-sleeve cardigans are the micro-trend I'm seeing everywhere right now.
